I know this is about a Stang but please bear with me. Look at my mods in the sig. I am planning gears soon. I am wondering how many tenths and mph, 3.73, 3.90, 4.10, and 4.30 gears will give me in the 1/4 mile with my current mods? 3.73 gears are great for top speed and a daily driver. 4.30 gears are best for the dragstrip. I was just wondering what the difference would be between all these gear ratios at the strip. Anybody know? Thanks in advance.
With a 4.6 4.10s ALL DAY LONG!

At moroso in florida there was a 4.6 with all the parts to still be considered still a bolt on car and he was running 4:30's and it was funny cause he was ripping into second about 30 foot off the line and had to use 5th a pretty good ways before the trap. I would say 4:10's would be pushing it with the stock size tire but that what I would do.

With 4.30s he can go 107 mph at 6000 rpm in 4th gear (or 112 mph with 4.10s). He must have not increased his rev limiter, was shifting early or has a monster mph!
